Generation of chlorine dioxide from ClO–2 by pulse radiolysis

Abstract
The yield of ClO. 2 in irradiated aqueous solutions of NaClO2 has been determined by pulse and steady-state radiolyses. The yield was found to be dependent on ClO 2 concentration but independent of pH. The solvated electron was found to react with ClO 2 with a rate constant (2.5 ± 0.5)× 109 S–1 mol–1 dm3 to yield ClO. In its reaction with ClO 2 the OH. radical was found to produce two species; ClO. 2 and an OH. adduct. At sufficiently high ClO 2 concentrations the adduct reacts with ClO 2 producing further ClO. 2.
